End screen is Rieko around a table with a few bears. She’s wearing the painted acorn cap, and there are miniature “plenty of our favorite treats” on the table. At least a cake, and probably the bread and donuts mentioned in the lyrics. Maybe a miniature birthday candle on the cake providing light so it can be shot “under the moonlight”?

Under the blue sky, I was born
And there’s always a wondrous encounter waiting

I want to see the people I love smiling
So I’ll give it my all―hey, smile!

You’re always on my mind, my new friend

Fa-la la fa-la
I’m writing you a letter
Fa-la fa fa-la
Tonight’s a party
Fa-la la fa-la
I’ll set out my favorite flowers
Fa-la fa fa-la
And wait for the sun to rise

What should I give as today’s gift?
I want to surprise you―you’re so special to me!
Freshly baked bread, donuts,
A playful frog, an airship,
And so many treasured photos!

Because tomorrow, I want us to grow even closer

Fa-la la fa-la
Everyone together now, let’s sing
Fa-la fa fa-la
A song of joy
Fa-la la fa-la
With plenty of our favorite treats
Fa-la fa fa-la
Under the moonlight, la-la-la la-la-la

Fa-la la fa-la
I’m writing you a letter
Fa-la fa fa-la
Tonight’s a party
Fa-la la fa-la
I’ll set out my favorite flowers
Fa-la fa fa-la
Come on, let’s dance

Fa-la fa fa-la
A song of joy
Fa-la la fa-la
With plenty of our favorite treats
Fa-la fa fa-la
Under the moonlight, la-la-la la-la-la

Let’s wait for the sun
